What happens when a G1 driver drives in another province or the the US? Do they have to follow Ontario rules as well as the rules of the jurisdiction you're in? Thanks

Re: G1 Driver in Other Provinces/USA
Yes, your G1 licence restrictions still apply outside the Province of Ontario. Youd also have to abide by any other applicable laws for the jurisdiction that youre driving in. It would be dependent on the actual jurisdiction, their local laws and any applicable exemptions for non-residents. So for example, if Province XYZ allows novice drivers to drive at night, you still couldnt since your G1 licence prohibits it. Province XYZ might also require that any accompanying driver have 6 years of experience instead of Ontarios 4, in which case Province XYZs requirement would likely supersede Ontarios. Was there a specific requirement and/or location that youre wondering about?

If/when do I have to disclose my evidence for a trial?
Lots of good information on getting disclosure from the Crown here.
Now, I am just wondering if I will be relying upon evidence of my own at trial... do I have to voluntarily send this material to the Crown in a reasonable time before the trial, or only if they request disclosure from me?
Thanks!
